Why choose honeycomb blinds
Insulation no other blind matches
The honeycomb cell structure traps still air against the glass, reducing heat transfer through your windows. That means cooler rooms in summer, warmer rooms in winter and lower energy use all year round.
Clean, contemporary design
Crisp pleats fold into a compact stack at the top of the window, preserving your view when raised and hanging in neat lines when closed.
Softer sound, quieter rooms
The same air pockets that insulate also soften outside noise. Bedrooms, studies and sea-facing rooms feel calmer behind cellular fabric. Pair with motorised blinds for cord-free control.

Frequently asked questions
Can honeycomb blinds be motorised?
Yes. We motorise honeycomb blinds with whisper-quiet Somfy and MotionBlinds motors, via remote, smartphone app or smart home systems like Alexa or Google Home. Motorisation removes cords entirely, the safest option around children, and suits high or hard-to-reach windows perfectly.
How do I clean honeycomb blinds?
Honeycomb blinds are low-maintenance. Dust them with a feather duster or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment on low suction. For marks, dab gently with a cloth lightly dampened in mild soapy water and let the fabric dry fully. Never soak cellular fabric, as water can linger inside the cells. Consult our team for tailored care instructions.
What are cellular blinds?
Cellular blinds and honeycomb blinds are the same product. The name comes from the rows of hollow cells that give the fabric its honeycomb profile. Those cells trap still air against the glass, insulating the room and softening sound. automated motorised blinds are available across our cellular ranges, and professional installation by our own team is standard.
Do honeycomb blinds really insulate?
Yes. The trapped air inside each cell forms a barrier between the glass and the room, reducing heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. On the Dolphin Coast the biggest benefit is keeping sea-facing rooms with large glass noticeably cooler, with less air conditioning needed.
Which rooms suit honeycomb blinds best?
Best rooms for cellular blinds:
- Light-filtering: soft daylight plus insulation for rooms with big glass.
- Blackout: dark, quiet sleep behind opaque cellular fabric.
- Home offices: calmer sound and steadier temperatures for focus.
- Avoid wet rooms: steam can linger in cells; choose Venetians or shutters there.
Neutral tones such as white, linen and grey remain the most popular across our ranges.

We supply and fit cellular ranges from Luxaflex, Coulisse, Taylor Blinds, Blindsmart, Aluvert and Focus, in light-filtering and blackout fabrics, with Somfy and MotionBlinds motorisation available.
